(SEPT 4) The World Boxing Council has
been officially notified by Mr. Guillermo Brito that the Super
bantamweight interim world champion, Jackie Nava, from Mexico, has
decided not to take part in the mandatory fight against the champion
of the division, Alejandra Oliveras, from Argentina, a bout that was
scheduled to be promoted in October by Box Latino, which obtained
the rights to promote such bout with a bid of $34,000 dollars.
Our President, Jose Sulaiman, has expressed his great sorrow
regarding this situation, as Jackie Nava was the first WBC female
champion and has been an icon of female boxing in our organization,
and he deeply regrets that her managers have decided to have her
fight in an elimination fight for the WBA, being a degradation to
the level of the great champion Jackie Nava, who never had to go
through an “elimination” fight in our organization.
The World Boxing Council wishes Jackie Nava the best of luck, and
wants to let her know that she will always have a very special place
in this organization.
